  • The fact that we have free access to this level of information is really profound. Thanks Paul and Georgi!
  • @felipe3354
    Georgi is by far my favorite guest on this show
  • Intermittent fasting saved my life! It healed my body and restored my health. I also did it with a clean low, carb whole foods diet.
  • @rodolfo...
    Could you make Georgi a permanent guest on the show, like once a month? I need to know his view on berberine( plant based cousin of metformin), Ashwaghanda ( cortisol lowering) and so many other things...
  • @WaddupBoi
    Amazing discussion. It can't be denied that seed oils are almost definitively the problem here!
  • Love this one. Thanks, Paul, for being open-minded and not dogmatic, promoting an orthorexic mindset
  • I've been on OMAD for a 1 year now! Lost 56 pounds in 3 months. 213 to 158 Pounds.
  • @drobert7123
    Georgie straight brang it! The brain on this man is impressive. Great podcast Paul. Keep them coming
  • This discussion confirms the hypothesis that a lot of these diseases Escalated when seed. Oils and hydrogenated became popular many many years ago. I can still remember my grandmother using Crisco, because she said it was better than lard.
  • Awesome episode. Thanks! I've now been eating "prometabolic" for six months, eating as soon as I get hungry and havn't gained a pound (might actually have lost some, although I don't own a scale). Feel so much better in mind and body compared to when I did IF before that. My search is over.....
  • @csmo2896

  • @oldbiker9739

  • @ThaboAndRayy

    16:8 fasting has worked so well for me. Higher energy levels, less appetite. Its evolutionarily consistent to not eat all the time
  • As for intense exercise, I love Paul's opinion. As running, evolutionary creatures, we have a "fight or flight" mechanism for a reason. It's because if we can sprint, or fight off predators, we survive. If we can't, we get checked out of the gene pool. The most important part of exercise is the recovery period, not the fat burning during the exercise. Rest is when you get fit, and the more intense the exercise, the quicker you get fit because you body is thinking you are to get killed if you don't get fit real quick... The whole aerobics/cardio being the best way to lose fat came from Dr. Ken Cooper back in the 1960s, and most people still believe this baloney that makes no sense...just look at the difference between distance runners and sprinters. Which ones look like they have more muscle and are in better metabolic shape? Evolution never lies...science, interpreted by humans does, all the time...
